This is a division of application Ser. No. 08/886,305, filed Jul. 1, 1997, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,869,508, issued Feb. 9, 1999.
The present invention relates to novel 1,2,3-benzothiadiazole derivatives, to processes for their preparation, and to their use as microbicides. Further, the invention relates to novel intermediates and to processes for their preparation.
It has already been known that certain 1,2,3-benzothiadiazole derivatives have fungicidal properties (see Japanese published patent applications Hei 1-90 176, Hei 3-169 872, Hei 5-97 829, Hei 5-194 450, Hei 8-53 464 and GB-A 1 176 799). The activity of these substances, however, is not always satisfactory when they are applied at low dosages.
Further, some methods for synthesizing 1,2,3-benzothiadiazole derivatives have already been described (see J. Chem. Soc. 1967, 321-323, J. Chem. Soc. 1970, 2514-2518, J. Chem. Soc. 1970, 2250-2252 and J. Chem. Soc. 1971, 3994-3999). However, the availability of additional processes for the preparation of such compounds is desired.
There have been found novel 1,2,3-benzothiadiazole derivatives of the formula ##STR3## in which Het is ##STR4## wherein R1 is hydrogen, optionally substituted C1-6 alkyl, optionally substituted C2-6 alkenyl or optionally substituted phenyl and
R2 and R3 independently of each other are hydrogen or optionally substituted C1-6 alkyl,
and acid addition salts and metal salts complexes thereof
It has furthermore been found that 1,2,3-benzothiadiazole derivatives of the formula (I) and acid addition salts and metal salt complexes thereof can be prepared by
a) reacting 1,2,3-benzothiadiazolylcarbonyl halides of the formula ##STR5## in which Hal is chlorine or bromine,
with heterocycles of the formula
Het1 --H (III)
in which
Het1 represents ##STR6## wherein R4 is optionally substituted C1-4 alkyl, optionally substituted C2-6 alkenyl or optionally substituted phenyl,
or
Het1 represents ##STR7## wherein R2 and R3 have the above-mentioned meanings,
in the presence of an inert diluent and, if appropriate, in the presence of an acid binder,
or
b) reacting phenyl derivatives of the formula ##STR8## in which Het1 has the above-mentioned meanings and
R5 is hydrogen, C1-4 alkyl, benzyl or acetyl,
with nitrous acid or a salt thereof,
in the presence of an inert diluent under acidic conditions,
or
c) reacting 1,2,3-benzothiadiazole derivatives of the formula ##STR9## in which Het2 is ##STR10## with an acid and, if appropriate, in the presence of an inert diluent,
or
d) reacting 1,2,3-benzothiadiazole derivatives of the formula ##STR11## in which Het3 is ##STR12## with halogeno compounds of the formula
R6 --Hal1 (V)
in which
R6 is optionally substituted C1-6 alkyl or optionally substituted C2-6 alkenyl and
Hal1 is chlorine, bromine or iodine,
in the presence of an inert diluent and, if appropriate, in the presence of an acid binder,
and, if appropriate, adding an acid or a metal salt onto the 1,2,3-benzothiadiazole derivatives of the formula (I) thus obtained.
Finally, it has been found that the 1,2,3-benzothiadiazole derivatives of the formula (I) and acid addition salts and metal salt complexes thereof are outstandingly active as microbicides, which can be used in agriculture and horticulture. They can either be used for directly combating undesired microorganisms, such as phytophathogenic fungi and bacteria or for inducing in the plant bodies themselves resistance to phytopathogenic fungi and bacteriae.
Surprisingly, the compounds according to the invention have a much better fungicidal activity than the already known compounds which are structurally most similar and have the same type of action.
In the present context, "alkyl" represents straight-chain or branched groups. The term "alkyl" includes, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl and n- (iso-, sec-, tert-)butyl. Said "alkyl" may be substituted and the substituents thereof include halogen, such as fluoro, chloro or bromo, cyano, alkoxy, such as methoxy, ethoxy or propoxy, alkylthio, such as methylthio or ethylthio, alkoxycarbonyl, such as methoxycarbonyl or ethoxycarbonyl, and phenyl.
The term "alkenyl", in the present context, also represents straight-chain or branched groups. It includes, for example, vinyl, allyl, isopropenyl and 1-methyl-2-propenyl.
Formula (I) provides a general definition of the 1,2,3-benzothiadiazole derivatives according to the invention. Preferred compounds of the formula (I) are those, in which

R2 and R3 independently of each other are hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, propyl or isopropyl.
Addition products of acids and those 1,2,3-benzothiadiazole derivatives of the formula (I), in which Het has the meanings, which have already been mentioned as preferred for this radical, are also preferred compounds according to the invention.
The acids which can be added on include, preferably, hydrogen halide acids, such as, for example, hydrochloric acid and hydrobromic acid, in particular hydrochloric acid, and, furthermore, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, sulphuric acid, mono- and bifunctional carboxylic acids and hydroxycarboxylic acids, such as, for example, acetic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, salicylic acid, sorbic acid and lactic acid, and sulphonic acids, such as, for example p-toluenesulphonic acid, 1,5-naphthalenedisulphonic acid or camphorsulphonic acid, as well as saccharin and thiosaccharin.

Salts of copper, zinc, manganese, magnesium, tin, iron and nickel are particularly preferred here. Possible anions of these salts are those which are derived from those acids which lead to physiologically acceptable addition products. Particularly preferred acids of this type are, in this connection, the hydrogen halide acids, such as, for example, hydrochloric acid and hydrobromic acid, and, furthermore, phosphoric acid, nitric acid and sulphuric acid.
